Breakfast Ease

I know, I know it has been way too long! I am finally reorganized and cooking creatively. It gets so easy to eat the same meals over and over, and when you throw weekend travel into the mix you go for simplicity...aka BORING! Instead of boring you with yet another chicken, vegetable, and whole grain week...I am stepping it up!

This week has started my dive into new and creative breakfasts for Paul. I wanted to find an egg dish, of sorts, that was loaded with protein and flavor. It took the meshing of a few recipes, but I think I did well. Paul and Kristen (who got a few slices today) will have to let me know their thoughts :)

In a pan over medium/high heat, heat onions until translucent. Add in spinach and mix until wilted. Add in artichoke hearts and red peppers. Mix until heated through. Season to taste. Take off burner to cool slightly.

In the meantime, whisk eggs. Continue whisking adding flour, baking powder, and then slowly the milk until well mixed and airy.

Add the onion/spinach/etc mixture to the egg mixture.

Pour into the prepared pie dish. Add the crumbled goat cheese to the top and then the parmesan.

Bake for 20-25 min, until lightly browned around the edges and quiche is set. Cool and serve. Can be stored for 5 days!
